Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Hydroxocobalamin is a natural form of vitamin B12. Hydroxocobalamin is a hemelike molecule with a complexed cobalt (Co) atom and used for cyanide poisoning and smoke inhalation. The IC50 values for hydroxocobalamin in inhibiting responses to EDRF and NO in aorta are 3.4 and 8.4 µM, respectively, and the IC50 value for hydroxocobalamin against NO in anococcygeus muscles is 46 µM.[1] Hydroxocobalamin inhibits purified recombinant HIV-1 integrase activity with an IC50 value of approximately 17 µM. Hydroxocobalamin inhibits HIV-1 infection of cultured monocytes and of cultured lymphocytes with IC50 values of 6 and 60 µM, respectively.[2] In rat aortic rings, hydroxocobalamin (10-30 µM) produces concentration-dependent reductions of the relaxant action of nitric oxide (NO) and the endothelium-dependent, NO-mediated, relaxant action of acetylcholine.[3] Hydroxocobalamin prevents cyanide transfer from red cells and plasma to tissue after nitroprusside metabolism, and thereby prevents cyanide toxicity from large intravenous doses of hydroxocobalamin.[4]

Protocols

In vivo: Hydroxocobalamin is dissolved in sterile saline.[4]
